New vehicle availability is resuming to some normality, so taking delivery of a vehicle on the upcoming 23 plate in March is possible, even if you place your order today.
There’s a cracking line-up of new vehicles arriving in the UK throughout the year and, for EV drivers, it’s even better news as the implementation of additional public chargers saw massive growth in 2022.
Here is what we are most excited to see this year…
New products
Good news for customers – there is a wide range of new cars and vans hitting the streets of the UK in 2023. As the the only main-dealer for MAXUS across Sussex, were delighted to announce the UK’s first all-electric Pickup Truck, the T90EV is currently on display and available to test drive from our showroom on Victoria Road in Brighton.
For more information on this highly anticipated EV, check out the Maxus T90 Rivervale review on our website.
Very soon we’ll be taking delivery of the world’s first all-electric seven-seat people carrier, the MAXUS MIFA 9, which will be ideal for larger families, as welll as luxury chauffeur and transfer services.
From other manufacturers, the offering continues. We will see the all-new, fully-electric Ford Transit Custom towards the end of 2023, the sporty recasting of the Audi Q8 e-tron, BMW’s popular executive saloon and estate, the 5 series goes all-electric and will be badged i5 and luxury market newcomer Genesis will enter the electrified market with the GV60, GV70 and GV80.
Meanwhile, Hyundai adds the sleek coupe-like five-door IONIQ 6 to the electrified line-up, while sister company Kia promises the EV9 a much larger version of the Kia Soul EV, delivering 320 horsepower and 310 miles of range and Nissan building on the success of the LEAF with the all-new Ariya a sleek SUV Crossover.
Say goodbye to range anxiety
Many drivers have been sceptical of making the switch to electric. However, in 2022 the electric vehicle charging infrastructure grew by 29 per cent across the UK with on-street kerb-side chargers up by 23 per cent and a significant 79 per cent growth of ultra-rapid chargers, according to Zap-Map.
With the number of publicly available chargers continuing to grow and the great range of all-electric or plug-in hybrid models available from Rivervale for both private and business users, 2023 should be the year you make the switch. If you are still worried about range, here are the electric cars with the longest range.
